I have never replied to any of the posts here, only read and enjoyed the information, but felt that I needed to put my 2 cents worth in. I also recieved this virus as an attachment, from someone I did not know, but was known to one person that I correspond with. Therefore, the virus went out to everyone's email address that happened to be on my friend's friend's email list. I recognized it as a virus and did not click on it to activate it. I immediately checked my anti-virus software's virus definitions library to see if my most recent update covered WIN 32 Navidad. It did not, so, I then downloaded the newest Norton's update, ran a scan, and cleaned the virus from my system. If you do not have an anti-virus program, I highly recommend that you get one. Another quick fix is to do the following: go to http://www.yahoo.com , at the search feature enter "navidad anti-virus" (without the quotation marks), and follow the directions you find there. Good luck to all. Joyce Hill Teacher/Webmaster jhill@centerisd.org C.H. Daniels Intermediate School Center, Texas barbara jackson wrote: > A New worm NAVIDAD is spreading via E-Mail. Works on ALL Windows platform. It checks messages in your inbox, replies with Attachments. It adds NAVIDAD.EXE attachment. When open,it installs its self in your PC where it appears in intray as a small eye icon. When your mouse moves over it, it displays a yellow dialog box that states " Lo estamos mirando" translated to ,We Are Watching It" When Icon is clicked a message appears that means "Merry Christmas" Unfortunally, your Christmas want be to Merry, you just LOST your computer. It then makes changes to your Regestry & copies files onto Your hard drive where NO program can be launched. Your system also may never boot again. IF IT DOES it still cant go any farther. > > Barbara (Lightfoot) Jackson,Huxley,Texas 75973 > > --------------------------------- > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
